<br />Some people, not all, liked the idea of a tennis court. The tennis court was strongly supported by <br />Mayor Torrey. <br />Some people wanted volleyball, others did not. The slight majority went towards keeping <br />volleyball on the development plan. <br />Lack of lighting was discussed as there is only street lights on Lake View. There was a general <br />concensus to have some form of low level lights in the park for safety. <br />There was a general concensus to eliminate the following uses from the development plan: <br />- bocce ball <br />- basketball <br />- horseshoes <br />Concern over not enough on-street parking. <br />Given limited funding for development and maintenance, a less conventional park might be <br />desireable. Less sports and play equipment and more nature trails, native plants, meadows, water, <br />woodlands, and wildlife habitat/ "Schoolyard Habitats Program." <br />Cost of maintenance, parking, policing. <br />Access for the disabled. <br />Keep it simple, yet attractive, geared to younger children and families. <br /> <br />I. Final Development Plan <br /> <br />Following the 7/26/2000 public workshop, the development plan was adjusted in response to <br />testimony received. Highlighting some of the plan changes: <br /> <br />A large part of the park will be managed in a natural state, using native plants, and limiting the <br />irrigation system so as to not adversely affect existing trees. A open drainage swale will be <br />enhanced and planted with native vegetation for wildlife habitat value. The park, and in particular <br />the public entrances, will be oriented towards the east side to provide spatial separation from the <br />elementary school. Also, the restroom, if constructed, will be located in a highly visible location. <br /> <br />~ Bocce ball, horseshoes, and basketball was eliminated and a tennis cO,urt added to the plan. The <br />playground will be designed with a focus on children in the 2-5 year old age group, and some <br />water elements will be considered for inclusion in the playground. <br /> <br />Park will be constructed with the potential to add lighting at selected locations to help with park <br />security . <br /> <br />J. Advertisement for public involvement efforts, both in 1996 and in 2000 included <br />a direct mailing to surrounding neighbors, individuals, stakeholder organizations, <br />and the Willakenzie Neighborhood Organization, a news release to the news <br />media and display ads in the Register Guard. <br /> <br />K. Due to the presence of a small wetland on the park site, a Joint FilllRemoval <br />Permit was applied for at the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) and at the <br />Oregon Division of State Lands (DSL). A Consultant was hired to provide a <br />detailed delineation and the data was submitted to the two agencies. <br />~ In February of 2002 the ACOE ruled that no "waters of the United States" existed <br />on the project site and that a permit was not required. <br />~ The DSL is expected to issue a permit soon. <br /> <br />Gilham Park Admin Approval <br /> <br />Page 5 <br />
